Well....

Had a false alarm last night :-) Went to L&D, but turned out what we thought was contractions was actually just a really irritated uterus. Please pray, Joelle is still in severe amounts of pain today and we aren't sure what's causing it. However, the doc sees no reason to worry about anything.

Oh baby!

As of right now, we are going forward with an induction this Sun/Mon. If Joelle has made progress on Friday at her appt, she will not be going into the hospital until Monday. If she is still not dilated at her Friday appt, then they will begin the induction progress on Sunday afternoon. Please just pray for us, that everything goes well! Thanks!

Update: He came through surgery ok, and will be in the ICU for the next couple of days recuperating. Our prayers are still going out mightily for him!!!

Sometimes, prayer is all you can do

Today, we are in prayer for our home group leader as he undergoes surgery. This surgery will hopefully help alleviate some of the pressure on his spine from some tumors, allowing him to be able to walk again and receive chemo and radiation.

We wish we could do more, and be there more. However, we know that our prayers allow us to be with him in Spirit, and therefore we add ours to the multitude that is already going out for him. May God move mightily, and may He receive all the Glory.

Joelle's 37w U/S and appt went well. Baby weighs approx 6lbs 3oz. Since he has shown normal growth, rate and progression this whole PG, we were released from seeing the perinatologist, unless we experience complications. However, none of our doctors foresee any complications - praise the Lord! We haven't made any progress yet, but the beginning of progress is at hand. So, Joelle will continue to walk as much as possible, and pray for the best.

Please pray that this baby will  begin to make an appearance when Jeremiah is home. Whether labor begins at night, early morning or in the middle of the night, it doesn't matter. Just at a time when Jeremiah is not 3 hours away or more, and Joelle is stuck at home in labor.

An induction at 39w or 40w is a possibility if things don't appear to be moving, because then it would give Jeremiah exact dates to tell his boss he will be off for, and allow us time to get to the hospital together.

Tuesday Blahs

Nothing new to report here on the home front :-) We have a 37w U/S this Thursday, and then Joelle has her weekly appt the next day. Praying for some progress, but knowing that it's up to God. Hopefully Jeremiah will be able to come to the U/S, since he hasn't seen Little B after the 19w U/S.

Please be in prayer for Joelle. She is still in severe and constant pain, and reaching the end of her limit physically wise. She just needs Grace to continue to make it through, and strength. THANKS!
